Microsoft looks to be crafting some joy con style controllers for mobile devices. It’s labeled as a charging device for removable input modules, and then goes on to specify it’s wireless input devices that can be removed from a charging dock to be put on mobile devices such as a smartphones. You can read through the whole patent here, and we have the patent illustration below to show a vague idea of what the device will possibly look like.

Definitely seems like the intent here is to have a controller experience for xCloud on mobile devices, and with a similar idea to Nintendo Joy Con controllers on the Switch. That’ll be a welcome edition for those who are going into xCloud.
